OXFORD AND · CAMBRIDGE MATCH.

THE DOINGS OF THE TEAMS AND THE

PROBABLE PLAYERS..

[BY R, ABBIT,]

There appears a slight doubt as to how Reuter will let us have the account of the match at Lord's be- tween the rival' Universities which began on Monday last. It appears Probable, however, that the close of the play only is being cabled, which arrives somewhat late for the morn- ing papers. So, though these notes are being written Jate on Tuesday night, they will not appeat until Thursday morning when the end of the second (Tuesday) day's play inay be in the possession of my readers.

SUSSEX SCORES FINE WIN OVER KENT: BOWES AND VERITY PLAY HAVOC WITH SURREY BATS.

(THROUGH BLUTER'S AGENCY.]

LONDON, July 7.

The fine cricket weather which prevailed all over England for the past week came to an and all too scon with the result that some of the matches which commenced last Saturday were on- siderably interferred with. Only three matches were brought to a definite conclusion out of a programme of nine matchen,

The highest individual score for the week-end fixture is credited to Daore, the dashing Gloucester bataman, who knocked up 105 against the Northamptonshire attack. The Sussex captain, Dulcepsinbji, however, had the highest aggregate, his scores of 91 in the first innings, and 177 in the second knock being mainly responsible for their brilliant victory over _Rent.”
